Barbera ist made
with the grape of the same name. If derived from territories typical
for the cultivation of Nebbiolo-Grapes for Barolo and Barbaresco,
the Barbera wine display great color and boda when young as well as
when proprely aged. With the years, such wine acquires particular
smoothness and color, not ruby-red any longer, but rather red-orange.The
bouquet blends well with the aroma to produce an enhanced finesse.
The result is a superior wine, particularly suited for roasted meats.

Flavour:
dry, bitterish, pleasantly acidic, slightly tannic. After a
few years of ageing, it becomes smoother, with a pleasant tarry
suggestion.

Minimum
alcohol content: 12 %.

After
due analyses the wine may receive the designation of D.O.C.On exceptional
vintages it assumes the characters of a Barolo.
After two years of ageing in the bottle, with an alcohol content
of 13 %, it might deserve the "Superiore" qualification.
Barbera is eminently suited to game and pork dishes and to a variety
of cheeses, either spicy or strong flavored, young or well aged.
